I happened to notice that Cobblesmythe had on a nifty little outfit. I couldn’t figure out why though. Anyone else know?

I took on Ahune for the first time….ever. Yeah, only been playing for seven years or so.

I leveled my first Elekk Plushie and got the achieve for that. Now to level more to 24…

I wanted to show my OneNote that I use to keep track of pet battles/leveling.

While Vrishna was talking, I came across a “treasure” that is no long lootable, but it is still outlined in purple: Lightbearer

I think I have Garrison agoraphobia. I don’t feel comfortable outside of my Garrison anymore.

Vrishna

The sky is not the limit, … apparently.

Draenai flambe ?

Now for MORE upgrades !

Bought some duplicates and some outright wrong essences. Thank goodness they’re not bound on pickup.

Notice the resources. NOT 500 !

Accidentally sending to wrong character

Hi CAW people! First time writing in, though I've been listening a while. I don't always manage to catch every show but listen when I can.

I just wanted to chime in on the issue of accidentally sending mail to someone else's account. I know you mentioned addons, but you can verify with some work ahead of time.

When sending something you really want to make sure is going to an alt, also send a BoA item with it. A Baleful item from Tanaan, a pet bandage, maybe a copy of an heirloom (not sure on that though). If it really is your toon on the same battle.net account, it'll send ok (including across sub-accounts if you multibox), but will give an error message and not send if you accidentally misspell the name or something.

Ps since I finally wrote in, think I could have my iron toon in the guild? Lagofelux h/pally on ER.

Item Upgrades..

Hail and well met!

So, I’m listening to the podcast late this week. I’m one of those Tauren whose is celebrated on Father’s Day, so I’ve got the double-aggro you were talking about on the last episode.

That said, I found myself gesturing at the podcast while I drove down the road, trying to answer Vrishna’s question about the 0 of 2 upgrades on his ilevel 715 items. I’m sure if Grand Nagus had been about, he would have answered it. On crafted items, currently, there are two types of upgrade you can do. First are the ones you did, the really expensive ones, they’re “stage upgrades” you do to crafted items. Those other 0/2 upgrades you were asking about are ones that add +5 ilevels for each of the two upgrades. These upgrades are used by spending Valor points with a vendor to upgrade the items. You can find some details on the WowHead website, here: http://www.wowhead.com/guides/currency/valor-upgrades

The other thing I wanted to share is that currently I have a leatherworker who has a plethora of leather for making crafted items. So, If someone from the guild needs something, please let me know. If I’ve got the mats to do the job, then I imagine there won’t be any cost for someone. I can say the same for items I can make in the Forge as well. I don’t have a Blacksmith, but I can make all those plate armor and weapons…and once more, have a plethora of soulbound mats I can use.

Wolfbrother for plate aromor and shield and weapons that go with those. Eranth for both the Supple/Leather and Wayfaring/Mail armors.

“Be well…”

CAW blast from past

Hello CAW people!

No personal audio from me this week, but I've attached a blast from the past. This clip is from episode nevik 267 hoof

For the Lady Silvanas, because any who don't praise our beloved queen must obviously be Alliance.

Guild Updates: Saturday, 6/18 - Friday 6/24

Hi everyone - Here are this week's guild updates. I had the good fortune of being in game when several of them occurred this week, so that was exciting - always great to see guilds getting banners! I did notice that in today's recording I mentioned "Saturday, June 24," when it should have been Friday, June 24. Oh well, I'm not going back and rerecording it! I blame my lapse on an unfortunate handstand incident a couple of days ago. Nuff said.

Have a great week, and stay away from hardwood floors when doing spontaneous gymnastics!

Hope this finds you all well and having a great week! Sorry no audio this week.

Not much to report I'm afraid - real life feels like it's kicking my butt and the body is tired and sore. I'm sure will improve just hoping I'm not coming down with something!

Well not a lot to report in game! Ashran has been horrible! A team has no chance if the players aren't working together and at the moment seems every time I jump in Ashran there is no teamwork and the Horde is getting annihilated by Alliance! Honestly thinking I might just leave Nemesis until Legion. Thank you very much Rain, Constraxx and Grand Nagus for trying to help :) but between real life and time zones well it seems unlikely we will get together again. Hugs to you all though :) your generosity is greatly appreciated xo

I did manage to get a level on my bloodthirsty - she's now Lvl32! And I got 2 levels on my Iron hunter so she's at Lvl52! Was very nice to have some rested xp lol

Well I'm afraid that's it for now! Tired eyes are tired and I need sleep!

Have a great show!

Great big Huggles

Lost & Found …. After putting in a ticket (and explaining one of my tweets)

Love to ding 20 !

WoW Tokens because of Grand Nagus ! (and the lost 8k)

Mounted and on a new mount. Mystic Runesaber. And a new Iron Skyreaver !

IV 1.58 R.I.P. (plays Taps)

Ctrl-Alt-UN-delete …...WoW !

Last Sunday was Squirt Day! (Leeta gave me some KoolAid. It tasted funny.) I leveled up another big group of pets until….

Doing old raids for Raiding with Leashes. The Crate of Kidnapped puppies worked PERFECTLY, but no pet. (Note my fancy hat!)

Hey, look. More pet stuffs.

I farmed up an Unborn Valkyr. OMG. SO. KEWT.

And my pet notes. I’ve gotten the majority of the ones needed for the teams that Grand Nagus got gave me. The page on the left was the original list, the bit in white on the right is what’s left, and the blue post-its are for Raiding With Leashes (1, 2, and 3 each have their own post-it.)

Saturday, I proved that I’m a lemming and jumped off the cliff. This is my new troll priest, Natyri, on Earthen Ring. I already have 11 toons on Earthen Ring. ...This is my second account. Completing her second quest got her this achieve….

Then the Noobs did Firelands and Stormstout Brewery and Jade Temple yesterday.

We got loads of nifty achieves for Firelands, and on the last boss there was a healer fail. And yes, I was the healer.

Anyway, the group was made up of Sae, Alztraj, Shinn, Vrishna, and me. And Vrishna was rather upset when he realized we were killing bunnies, until I pointed out they were mutant rat-bunnies.

Then we had to teach Vrishna about strategies...in this case, don’t attack the boss until his shield goes down. Note the murloc!Sae.

I found something awesome in WoWhead (and most everyone probably already knows about it, but shiny to me.) The character planner:

Suggestions as to what to do next, and guides related to what I’ve done recently.

Just look at all those achievements I’ve almost completed! And the collections!

It even has stuff like rarest mounts and battle pets. Plenty more good info that I didn’t get shots of, too. And everything has that mouseover tooltip popup that WoWhead does. You can see it with the Winterspring quests in that second shot. You need an account on WoWhead, and here’s the link: http://www.wowhead.com/planner

I was leveling Plaguerain and someone asked me how to get flying in Draenor. Turned into a wonderfully lovely conversation with someone who was just returning to game from about six years ago! Good luck Shadofhedge!

Also, guild note: I just put about 60 Netherweave bags in the Gbank on CoD, and CoD2 has quite a few in as well. If you are starting a new toon, please do grab those out of the gbank - they are in there for YOU! :)

Hello caw crew,

I started playing wow a couple months ago, I am enjoying the game, but have never really found a good guild. I started listening to you podcast the same time I started the game. The CAW crew seems like a good group for a nubb like me, so if you wouldn’t mind I would love to join your guild on earthen ring. PS love the show!

Game on!

Hello CAW peoples,

Attached are my audio submission and my clip from the past. Hope you enjoy!

Hallo there, CAW crew!

I hope everyone has had as great of a week as I have! I got a lot done in game and out -- okay, I didn't really do anything outside of game, but I thought about it!

Anyway, I had a busy levelling grind this weekend. I got my pally, Sae, from 70 to 87! I hadn't realized how quick you could level through Wrath and Cataclysm content these days. I feel like I was in a new zone every couple of minutes or so, and most of my non heirloom gear hasn't been able to keep up with the speed of my levelling. Its alright, as I'm sure it'll even out when I get to Draenor!

I also had a great time when I joined in on the Noobs runs with Rain, Vrishna, Shinn and Alztraj! We did a ten man Firelands (we'll get that heroic run next time!), and ran some Pandaria dungeons in an attempt to level me as I was the only one under level 90. It was a whole lot of fun and I'm super glad I got the chance to join in! Thanks again to everyone for letting me tag along and I promise I'll have a proper 90+ character for the next time lol.

Happy Father's Day to those who are dads, uncles, grandfathers and whatever else!

I'll be seeing you all in game~

Your friendly neighborhood druid,

Saeureon <3

I'm DONE!

Greetings CAW Crew,

Just a quick update this week. I am done with my leveling project. Orchidae my gnome is 100, and she completes the last of the races. Due to the twisty way I went about the project, she makes 27 level 100's.

Now I am just working on vanilla transmog sets. I also need to go into Tanaan Jungle and finish up a few achievements and reps there.

For the Horde,

Duvessae

Guild Updates: Saturday, 6/11 - Friday 6/17

Hi everyone - I've been challenging along with my irons, blood thirsties and pacifists, but I managed to put together the attached guild updates. This evening (Saturday), Julie and I are heading down to Olde Cape Cod for the night and all day Sunday, so I'll be in a WoW-less zone of no wifi. Sad face. But the Cape - happy face!

I hope you all have a week full of happy faces - enjoy!
